L. M. Fuke strongly encouraged the use of glue clamps for putting together the B-17 Flying Fortress. What are the best glue clamps to use?

Plain wood clothes pins work great for the wings and for the body either rubber bands or just good old scotch tape is awesome as well

I used spring clothespins with excellent results. BTW, after you put in countless hours meticulously painting and detailing this excellent model, don't become suicidal after an adult recipient tries to see if it will function as a glider. (It doesn't) and tosses the shattered remains unceremoniously into the trash. Don't ask how I know this.

I use a clamp with the glue holding it together till the glue dries and it sould be called miracle glue.

I use the CA Glue and Accelerator as a clamping agent. Dot one piece with intermittent dots of CA Glue and regular woodworking glue and spray the other piece with accelerator, carefully join the two pieces and hold for about 20 seconds. The CA Glue and Accelerator form a strong bond quickly and the regular woodworking glue strengthens the bond as it cures over night.

Does not come with glue but I recommend the brand Duo for glue and it's cheap and works well!

they do not come with glue, you will need to attach the front and back with a double sided tape...not sure I would recommend glue

I don't use the clamps that came with the saw, I use regular C clamps.I glued a piece of wood underneath so the bottom flange doesn't get in the way.I'm really happy with the saw, it works great and it looks like modern art.

I have mainly used Testors plastic model cement for building plastic models. Other plastic model cements will work fine. Having said that, sometimes plastic model cement is not enough. Then, I use Loctite super glue(gel control). If the items are very difficult to get attached or heavy parts that need to be attached, I will use JB Weld (two separate parts - resin, hardener). Let this set for at least 24 hours and make sure pieces are always in correct contact. Sometimes, I use Elmer's glue for attaching decals to string. Good luck

I glued the aluminum base for a T-top to the fiberglass floor of my boat with it. The base is also screwed into the floor for extra support. It would all depend on how big the piece to be glued is as to whether it would hold with the adhesive alone. But, it is super strong.

I found some on e-bay. Harbor freight also has some. I also have made custom clamps from cutting up heavy hinges.

I used Command™ Picture Hanging Strips. In fact I use those Command™ strips for practically all of my wall decor now. I love them.

I used crazy glue at first, but eventually it gave out to point I broke the other side....eventually they're just sitting around broken now.

Buy at your local hardware store. The ones on Amazon are factory Rejects. I know I bought srveral, some from Amazon and some from a couple of local stores. The ones from local hardware stores are Very secure. All from Amazon are useless and just hang down. If you eant something just hanging straight down AND you have to Attach the Clamp part Yourself. Hardware stores the come factory attached already which is much more sturdy. Sorry ibought from Amazon (same exact thing as from Wal-Mart CHEAP)

No glue required. it's all held together with screws. assembles close to how a real engine goes together. Comes with everything you need to put it together. I would only recommend an exacto knife and maybe a nail file for trimming plastic down.

After having a 35 year career in miniatures building and teaching, I can guarantee that "Yes" glue is the ONLY glue I ever used!!! Fabulous. If too stiff, use hot water and dilute in VERY TINY increments stirring as you go until it becomes like thick syrup. A lot of book binders also use this glue. Cheers! Brooke Tucker

Not sure about Hyde glue, but Ballistol is excellent on wood gun stocks. It does not cause the wood to splinter like typical gun oils and it dries to a protective coating on metal.

Clamps. I got this for my husband for Fathers Day. He uses every time he grills.
